Sorry, but I don't think you've properly considered the effects of your
patch.

You're making this change based on the assumption that fwnode_irq_get()
has changed its return values, but I really don't think you've looked
at the code and considered the return value behaviour of the DT function
above. Reading it's documentation, it states that of_irq_get_byname()
may return 0 on IRQ mapping failure.

So, by making this change, you are allowing IRQ mapping failure in the
DT path to succeed rather than fail.

Exactly the same problem here, but...

this is less critical... but still wrong.

So, given that this patch is basically incorrect...

NAK.
